Fans love our timeless Grands!™ Monkey Bread (and so do we!). And while we enjoy the original recipe year-round, we wanted to give it a few sweet twists to help upgrade your spring brunch parties. We swapped biscuits for cinnamon rolls and added fresh berries to this dish, drizzling it all with a cream cheese-almond icing. We used a mixture of berries in this recipe, but feel free to experiment and make this monkey bread with one type of berry, like raspberries, too!
